Brave people deserve brave leadership, and so the besieged people of Tehran deserve to have their leaders share in their risks and sacrifices.
I know that Mr. Mousavi is under house arrest but if the few thousand people manage to get through the armed militias and police maybe he can try harder to join them.
Such a brave act would force the government's hand into arresting him, which would add another spark to this revolution.
Mr. Mousavi may turn out to be like Mr. Gorbachev, a catalyst for change but not destined to be the leader in the new age. Either way he needs to act and leave the rest up to the Iranian people. I hope he gets it that this is no longer about a desputed election--it's about regime change.
